DESCRIPTION:\nRSVP required&nbsp\;to attend in person.&nbsp\;\nFor more inf
ormation:&nbsp\;https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/node/99353\nSTEM training fo
r young students is correlated with the economic growth of countries becau
se such training increases the possibility of access to higher education a
nd subsequently careers in high paying industries\, according to IDB. The
problem in Latin America is that most youth do not have access to a qualit
y general education and the vast majority cannot obtain basic skills in ma
th\, science and reading.\nParticipants will enjoy an exciting networking-
breakfast and then discover the Science Clubs Colombia Project\, featuring
young Latin American scientists and researchers attending universities su
ch as Harvard\, MIT\, and Stanford. These scientists and researchers are m
aking a profound social change through a new educational platform developi
ng intensive and high quality applied science courses for youth living in
economic disadvantaged neighborhoods in major cities in the country.\nThe
Breakfast of Ideas event seeks to gather both people from Latin American a
nd individuals who have a sincere interest in Latin American affairs revol
ving around issues of children and youth\, technology\, Internet and socia
l media\, education technology\, and new applications for social changes.

d the sub-initiative Conectados al Sur &nbsp\;for the Latin American and C
aribbean regions\, is a collaborative initiative between UNICEF and the Be

of Clubes de Ciencia Colombia\, along with other PhD students and post-doc
toral researchers from Harvard\, MIT and other Boston-area schools.\nAbout
Clubes de Ciencia Colombia \nClubes de Ciencia Colombia seeks to expand a
ccess to high quality science education and to inspire the future generati
on of scientists and innovators in Colombia and Latin America. They have d
esigned a unique and innovative program with two components: (1) Science C
lubs and (2) the online platform CdeC-Col. A “science club” is an intensiv
e (one-week long) hands-on and project-oriented workshop\, targeted at hig
h school and undergraduate students. Each club is designed and run by a te
am of two young scientists\, graduate students\, or postdoctoral researche
rs: one based in the US and one based in Colombia. The team is creating in
ternational mentoring networks and fostering connections between students
and among young scientists.
